Chiron in Aries
The healing power of the willpower

A few days ago, I heard that the film "La sociedad de la nieve" (society of the snow), produced and directed by J. A. Bayona, based on the book of the same name by Pablo Vierci has just been released.1 In the La Nación + interview in which they interview Carlos Páez Rodríguez, they say that the film appears 51 years after the tragedy and miracle of the plane crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 that occurred on October 13, 1972 in the Andes Mountains.2

Immediately, Chiron came to my mind, because 51 is Chiron's age. In astrology, Chiron is a misshapen planetoid that, due to the whims of the cosmos, has an eccentric orbit of 51 years. In its perihelion it crosses the orbit of Saturn and in its aphelion - transiting through Pisces and Aries - it crosses that of Uranus. In this way, symbolically, it seems to function as a bridge between Heaven and Earth, the afterlife, and our incarnation. It was discovered in 1977, and some astronomers believe it could be a wandering celestial body that entered the solar system's magnetic field on its journey through the galaxy. Symbolically, in astrology this would reflect the pain that human beings experience in this world, feeling that they come from another dimension, and that they have been abandoned to their fate on Earth.

The Myth of Chiron

Furthermore, the Chironian astrological archetype largely reflects the myth of Chiron, the Wounded Healer. Chiron was a centaur who turned out to be unusual. Please go to the link if you are not familiar with the myth.

Astrological Chiron

With this idea in mind, I opened the astrological software and entered the date and there it was. Chiron in Aries at 14º 49'. It took me a little longer to find the exact time and place of the accident, but I managed to find them.2

The story presents numerous aspects of the Chiron myth. First of all, Chiron in Aries, ruled by Mars, the sign and planet of athletes, highlights the injured athletes. Obviously, the first wound was feeling abandoned in such an inhospitable place and without appropriate means of survival. They had the feeling that they could only entrust themselves to some higher force, or to their supreme self who gave them the strength and determination to live.

Another aspect clearly represented was having to face their ambivalent condition of being spiritual beings, some of them believers and respectful of God, and having urgent physical needs to satisfy or die. That is, just like Chiron, they also saw themselves in their half-human and half-animal condition. Through this crucial experience, they managed, with a high level of wisdom, to combine both aspects, especially when having to decide to eat parts of the deceased bodies of friends and family. Similarly, the sting of hunger that harassed them mercilessly, and from which no one can be freed except through death or food, could emulate the poison of the Hydra in Chiron's wound.

The part of Prometheus exchange in the myth is reflected in several ways. One is that Fernando Parrado and Roberto Canessa offer to invest what they have left of energy, even with the possibility of losing their own lives, in starting the search for some 'salvation'. Just as Chiron offered to die so that Prometheus could save his life, they were willing to sacrifice themselves. They climbed and descended mountains of colossal height with a determination that even 51 years later is considered staggeringly incredible. One may well believe that, for ten days, some inexplicable superior force kept them alive to achieve this. This could be compared to Chiron's immortality offered on that stone 'altar' where Prometheus was chained.

It is well known that it is probably the best studied accident in the entire history of accidents. Honoring, as expected, the myth of Chiron, who was a scholar and teacher of various sciences, not only have numerous books been written, several films and documentaries dedicated to the accident, but many professionals from different disciplines including doctors and psychologists have studied it.

Not only for that, but studying the astrological chart a little more in depth, I said to myself 'this is a purely Chironian story', and par excellence. It's a story about the fragility and resilience of life. It is the story of the deep wound in human conscience struggling between life and death. These are typical themes for Chiron in Aries. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries represents birth, the entry into life and its inherent fragility.

Chiron in Aries wonders like the survivors of the Andes, "why have I been abandoned?" It is that moment when one realizes that one is essentially 'naked' in this world. And to survive, one needs protection, a mother and father, shelter, food, or one dies. Chiron in Aries makes this wound of helplessness, vulnerability and the fragility of life feel very acute. "We don't have mom, dad, home, or even food." Just like Chiron, who was abandoned by his parents at birth, the survivors say they felt abandoned by the world in that inhospitable place. With their inexperienced youth they felt that they lacked the necessary skills and resources to face such a desperate situation. Food, clothing and everything necessary to protect life was inadequate or scarce. That is the vulnerability of Aries, highlighted by the presence of Chiron.

Another aspect of Chiron's astrological archetype is that, unable to heal himself from his terribly painful 'wound', he turns to helping ease the wounds of others. In a cathartic act, Chironian suffering is alleviated by healing the other. In that "society in the snow", each person took the responsibility of looking out for others, thus saving the lives of several. And over the years almost all of them have dedicated themselves to giving talks and talking about their experiences, even confessing the most intimate details, because in doing so they have realized that they could inspire and encourage those who suffer in life situations or death.

They are the live testimony that "what you get in a crisis situation is an explosion of altruism. So people start helping each other on a massive scale."5

Around the world, many people today are grateful and recognize that their talks have 'saved their lives'. Even José Pedro Algorta confesses in a TeleDoce interview in 2012 that after 35 years of reserve, he decides to open up and 'talk about the Cordillera'. On that occasion, the host of the program, Facundo Ponce de León asks him, 'why did you decide to open up?' Algorta answers 'by seeing the impact our story had on people'. And he adds, 'Once I went to the Cordillera, and a woman told me that she was still alive thanks to our history. She told me that her son had committed suicide and that she gained strength to keep going thanks to our experience in the mountains.'6

They have also dedicated their financial resources to charitable projects. Since 1974, when they published the book "Alive", "the protagonists of the story agreed that they would donate part of the money raised in publications and conferences, benefiting schools in the interior [of Uruguay] that suffered enormous shortages, and so they did."7 Not only that, in 2007, they also founded a non-profit organization to help people in survival situations. "Together with Un Techo Para Mi País (A Roof for my Country) [they managed to build homes that allowed] the transfer of the inhabitants of Villa del Chancho (Pork Slum) to a decent land."7

So great is Chiron's influence on the accident chart that there have been many subsequent related events coinciding with Chiron's transits. To mention just one, twenty-five years later, shortly after the opposition of the Chiron transit, that is, in the middle of the cycle, some survivors and relatives of the deceased take an excursion to the Cordillera. They arrive at Los Maitenes where a religious service is offered. After that, Roberto Canessa and the children of Dr. Francisco Nicola return to the scene of the accident and install a cross in memory and tribute to the deceased. The Nicolas, although now adults, now feel the culmination of their grief. They name the site the Valley of Tears.

As expected, on that occasion, Heaven accompanies them. Saturn is in exact conjunction with Chiron on the accident chart. This indicates the pause, sorrow and recollection, a stage in which survivors feel the need to remember, seriously re-evaluate what happened, and take responsibility for the 'wound' - figuratively speaking. Chiron is exactly overhead in the midheaven, as if crowning the event.

The most recent film, "The Society of the Snow", was filmed since 2017 through the covid pandemic - says Pablo Vierci.8 Let us remember that Chiron enters Aries in March 2018. Since then, the process of Chiron's return to the position of the accident chart had started. Chiron's return is exact when the film is released. It is so exact that it is also retrograde (see chart below). Through historical research, Astrologers maintain that Heaven has memory, and that planetary returns are moments in which the original symbolism is revived in some way. Furthermore, the transit of Jupiter in opposition to natal Mercury favors the wide international dissemination of the film. The Moon square Pluto shows the deep emotions that the film has already provoked in all audiences.

With the return of Chiron in Aries, the film "The Society of the Snow" clearly reminds us of the values ​​that generated that community or 'society' in the crucible of pain. Their odyssey teaches the best way to confront the desperate adverse circumstances that millions of people face around the world today. The enormous amount of human displacement due to violence of all kinds in their countries of origin makes it almost impossible for other governments and charitable organizations to help them all. So it is urgent to take the lessons learned in that tragedy in the Andes, and apply them today. Thus, the film seems to be in sync with current events. Of course, this synchronicity is related to the fact that Chiron is in Aries again.

The principles emphasized by the film are based on the fact that no one can survive alone, the care and protection of the group is needed. In order for everyone to provide support, we must develop cooperation skills to help everyone survive. Obviously it is useless to complain, and it is also prohibited because it negatively affects the group subjected to such circumstances. In survival mode, the benefit of the group is paramount. If everyone is fine, the individual is fine. Above all, each person must make the maximum effort, give the best of themselves, even sacrifice the most valuable thing they have for the benefit of the group. These cooperative principles of society have been lost in an era of high level of civilization, in which, paradoxically, everyone sought their own benefit, often regardless of the harm caused to others or to the environment. 

Taking a closer look, many other important values can be useful in situations of extreme misfortune, such as those suffered due to natural calamities, or those caused by war. It is probably the goal of Chiron in Aries, to realize the supreme vulnerability we suffer now, and the strategies necessary to protect and strengthen ourselves. It is important to understand that to overcome the suffering of the physical plane we must use "the Higher Law against the lower ones, and transmute what is not desirable into what is estimable, triumphing in that way.[...] Mastery consists [...] in employing the superior forces against the inferior ones, thus escaping the pains of the lower planes through elevation to the higher ones." 9  The way to heal an existential wound like the one they suffered, was using determination, initiative, and an iron willpower, of which youth is especially capable. 

 

Astrological analysis of the accident chart

October 13, 1972, 15:34, Malargüe, Argentina,

34°45′54″S 70°17′11″W   10

If someone had asked me for an astrological consultation to travel that day in that place at that time, I would have categorically dissuaded them. The main reason is that the Sun is square to the Lunar Nodes. This indicates that it is exactly the midpoint between the two eclipse seasons. It is the square to the eclipses that occurred 3 months before and those that come in another 3 months. This phenomenon occurs when the Sun or Moon approach and pass through the points where the lunar orbit and the ecliptic change direction. In this case, the Sun was traveling from the South Node to the North Node, the North Bend. Like eclipses, this is a point of great tension associated with all kinds of accidents, explosions, bombs, earthquakes, high tides, plane disasters, train crashes, multiple accidents. Some historical examples were the Challenger space capsule explosion, Chernobyl, September 11, 2001.

Curiously, on October 14, 2023 there was a solar eclipse at 21º of Libra, in exact square with the Lunar Nodes of this chart, and over its Sun. The next eclipse on October 28 happened at 5º of the Taurus Scorpio axis, with the Sun above the Mercury of this chart. The karmic memory of Heaven is undeniable. On October 19, between eclipses, Netflix announces the premiere of the film "The Society of the Snow." 12 

The ascendant of the chart in Pisces clearly indicates the tragic confusion of the pilot, and that of the survivors after the accident. Pisces is the sign of communion with the whole, reflected in the energetic and physical symbiosis that occurred between the survivors and their environment. Even faith, the deeply spiritual experience of their 'odyssey' and communion with the bodies of the deceased are Piscean themes. They formed a 'society' of survival in which individuality was erased to create an indissoluble community. Hence the offering and consecration of their own bodies to sustain the lives of the survivors. Pisces is the sign of charity, which implies sacrifice for the good of the community. So they soon understood that everyone depended on everyone.

Chiron in Aries is opposite several planets with negative connotation, in the overcrowded and unusually intensified 8th house. Mars, the ruler of Chiron in Aries in the eighth house, joins forces with none other than Pluto and Uranus, emphasizing the pathos of the tragedy, but also the powerful determination to save life. 

The eighth house is the area of experience associated with those deep traumas that lead us to savor death and rebirth, and the crises of life, often with loss of blood, such as childbirth. The ruler of Libra, Venus in the 7th house in Virgo, represents those outside the event. Venus square Neptune high in the sky indicates the confusion of those involved in the search for the plane. Venus at an 80º angle with Saturn represents the initiatory nature of the tragedy and miracle. Such an initiation helps participants establish sober personal values adapted to reality, such as taking responsibility and understanding the dimension of what it means to truly love others. 

The 8th house stellium includes Ceres with Uranus. She is the goddess of nutrition, the support of life, but she is also in charge of death rituals. As the death priestess, she accompanies souls to the afterlife and rebirth. Uranus brings the alternative factor to these issues, like many things related to that revolutionary planet. The total lack of food leads to their decision to accept a taboo. Although the funerary rituals are performed with reverence, they were obviously unconventional. And it is evident that those who died find new life in the survivors. 

Mercury in Scorpio (ruled by Pluto Mars conjunction) in the ninth house reflects the strange place in a foreign country. Mercury is the communications, the intense search for information, the painful conversations and thoughts, and also the cries of pain of the wounded who suffered (Scorpio ruled by Pluto) trapped for several hours without being able to be cured or saved. Mercury in Scorpio also reflects the religious debates, or the conversations about their beliefs. They discussed what to do to survive, until reaching the conclusion of a communion with the deceased similar to 'eating the body and drinking the blood of Christ'. In this way it could be said that the dead are resurrected through the survivors thanks to the offering of and communion with their bodies. 

Mercury in semi-square with Jupiter also indicates the obstacles and frustrations in relating to the environment and with the rest of the world (Jupiter and house 9). For example, this aspect reflects the fruitless search and the renunciation of it by the authorities. To survive and ultimately escape the place, they had to use inventiveness, creative skills, and alternative methods of  communicating with the world, and to explore the surrounding areas. For example,  they drew a cross in the snow trying to be seen from the sky. To communicate, they had to use their inventive to operate a  radio. Two of them exposed themselves to extreme risks by making the  final walk to try to find a way out. And when they found the herder, Sergio Catalán, across the river, they had neither paper nor pencil to write a message. When the herder got them for them, Fernando Parrado had to throw the letter wrapped in a stone to the other side of the river, but being so weak, he was unable to bridge the distance and the message fell into the water. The herder's son went into the water to save it. The pain of losing their 'brother'-friends and other people who accompanied them was extremely painful. They suffered from seeing others injured without having the appropriate means to heal them. They improvised glasses so that the snow wouldn't blind them. All of these issues are associated with an 'afflicted' Mercury, as a planet in poor condition is called in Astrology .

What is most significant for this article is definitely Chiron in Aries. Once again we see the ruler Mars next to the symbol of death, Pluto. Together they make an undesirable couple, which portends unbearable pain, bleeding, infected fractures, tragic and cruel death and, as a corollary, a very disturbing psychological trauma. 

Chiron is in the second zodiac house. This includes those resources necessary to sustain life, such as food, energy, the support provided by a family, a home (fire), a roof. Therefore, this is the area of experience of our desires and values. Chiron reflects the inadequacy and lack of such resources. Survivors have often told how difficult it was to even provide themselves with water, which is the basis of survival. Not to mention maintaining the energy level with a precarious food first, and then a mono nutrient such as meat. As a house they had a dilapidated fuselage that could not even protect them from the avalanches. 

Individual desires are usually derived from what is necessary, or what the person believes to be of value to sustain his or her life, or lifestyle. All survivors have testified that this experience marked a milestone, a turning point in which their values and desires were turned upside down. For some it was definitive from that moment, others had to face other challenges and mature even more. But in the end they ended up confirming that those were authentic values that had to be upheld. 

As the days went by, they formed a community with close ties of interdependence so lasting that even today they call each other 'brothers' and treat each other as such. Some have confessed that they are very different, that at times they have not agreed, that they have fought sometimes and reconciled immediately, that fraternal ties are stronger than everything. The main one, the most firm and lasting, is that of that family, which they call "society of the snow" - to return to the title of the film, the fraternal family that has sustained them for the rest of their lives. There they forged the unwavering value of brotherhood that has resulted in an inspiring example for many. Another value is having learned what true love is, practicing that message in the Gospel of John "No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." 13

Conclusion

There is no doubt that given the karmic nature of the tragedy of the Andes, it will endure throughout history as an icon of human resilience. The sky has memory. I say karmic because of the significant influence of the Lunar Nodes (psychic memory) on cardinal signs. Let us remember that the cardinal signs form the cross that governs the world, the cross of matter, physical incarnation, taking physical form at all levels. They are the signs that represent the changes of season, thus determining the tropical zodiac. They mark the solstices and equinoxes. So they are signs activated constantly almost all year round. As explained above, every time there are eclipses or squares to them, in those four signs, this story will be named again, we will continue to learn from it. We will continue to listen to the survivors reflecting on what they learned. We will continue learning from them. The world will continue to drink their wisdom that saves lives, just as they drank that distilled snow that saved theirs.

Pluto Ingress Aquarius - Starting From Scratch

January 20, 2024

Have you ever had to start your life from scratch all over again? Well, believe it or not, this is what is happening to Humanity currently. Why? Astrologically, the World is entering a New Era of Air lasting 200 years. What is this? Jupiter and Saturn, the Chronocrators or Lords of the Times, will only join forces in Air Signs. Although, the first time they actually joined in Air Signs was in Libra in 1980-1981, as follows.

Dec 31, 1980 Jupiter conjunct Saturn at 9º Libra 30’
Mar 4, 1981 Jupiter conjunct Saturn at 8º Libra 07’
Jul 24, 1981 Jupiter conjunct Saturn at 4º Libra 56’

There was another conjunction in an Earth Sign before they finally started to join only in Air with the conjunction of December 20, 2020 at 0º Aquarius.

Let's look back to History 700 years ago. Very similarly to our current period, the Pluto Saturn conjunction happened in December 1284, at 26º Capricorn. Just a year later, in December 1285, Jupiter and Saturn met at 7º Aquarius, just as it happened in 2020. Back then, it was the start of the Renaissance in the Western Civilization. Direct result of the Crusades, the Renaissance was born out of the new knowledge brought back with the Crusaders’ travels to the Middle East. Islamic countries had kept many classical Greek and Roman texts that had been lost in Europe, and they were reintroduced by the returning crusaders.1

Then, with Saturn and Jupiter conjoining in Air Signs, the evolutionary transition took a couple of centuries. It is said that the Black Plague of mid 1300s set the stage for the Renaissance, by creating a complete chaos and vacuum of social structures and authority. Sounds familiar? Will our evolution take that long? Will it take a prolonged pandemic, a massive extinction, or a genocide?

Society became lighter with numerous improvements to daily life. Intellectual and scientific studies soared, Universities were created, the fine arts were perfected, all of which had been relegated during the Middle/Dark Ages. There were new concerns with healthy living, cleaning, and lightening up of the spirits.

In a sense, since 1802 when Saturn Jupiter started meeting in Earth signs, people had gone back to the dark ages of materialism. With the industrial revolution, humanity developed heavy machinery, to exploit material resources. Until today, progress was synonym of material wealth. It can be said that with the Saturn Uranus conjunction at the very end (anaretic degree) of Sagittarius the Globalization took the materialism to unsustainable extremes. And by the end of this Earth Era, the excesses have presented severe consequences.2

However, there is no doubt about the fact that the technological progress the Globalization promoted has paved the way for this new Era of Enlightenment, a Neo Renaissance in Humanity's evolution.

Similarly, to the Renaissance, now, that Jupiter Saturn meet in Air signs for the next 200 years, progress is synonym of scientific, cultural, and intellectual wealth. The fine arts are coming back, inspirational music, poetry, performing arts are on the rise. Scientific and intellectual development serve Humanity as a whole, promoting a higher stage of evolution and civilization.

Humanity’s business is literally getting rid of the heavy weight of Earthly material concerns, to lighten up embracing abstract matters. After a transitional period of devastation, Humanity enters a New Era of Reason, abstract mental development, and high level of intellectual creativity.

As this starts the collective in a new modus operandi, the old ‘world’ is crumbling down, as there should be an end before a new beginning. And that has been the work of all the slow-moving planets transiting the last quadrant of the zodiac (Capricorn through Pisces) during the last decades. First was Uranus, then Neptune, and now Pluto have all been closing a greater cycle. All material structures (Saturn) and their expansions (Jupiter) are decomposing in front of our eyes (Pluto).

PLANETARY HITS TO ZERO AQUARIUS

The 0 degree Aquarius has been activated several times in significant ways since 2018. Mars was at 0º Aquarius, the exact day Uranus, ruler of Aquarius, made his entry in Taurus forming the waning square on May 16, 2018. Exactly on that day, the news informed us about serious social issues related to the generation of life, sex, death, a preamble to the arrival of Pluto. One of the headlines for that day reads,

“Palestinian officials say the Israeli military shot dead two more Palestinians in Gaza on Tuesday, only one day after the Israeli military massacred at least 61 unarmed Palestinians and wounded 2,700 more for protesting against the Israeli occupation and the opening of the new U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem. The United States is refusing to criticize Israel after the massacre.”3

Other news that day relate to the reemerging anti-abortion issue, rumors of war in the South Korea Sea, digital attacks against Human Rights Activists in Pakistan, and other issues of sexual harassment and assault, and separation of children from their migrant parents. All these issues relate to Mars very well for their aggressive aspect, but they also show their incipient and gestational (corresponding to 0º) significance considering the future developments.

The next reference about the themes of 0º Aquarius appears on March 31, 2020, when Mars conjoins Saturn at that degree. Certainly, nobody needs a memory refresher for that day. During the following months, the entire Humanity grieved not only the dead, but the end of the world we had known so far.

Then on December 21, 2020, Jupiter joined Saturn exactly at that degree, giving official birth to the 200-year Air Era. This event dramatically started the process of changing the spirit of the times.

Next hit was Venus and Mars travelling jointly from March 2 to 6, 2022 over Pluto, from Capricorn into Aquarius exactly the same way Jupiter and Saturn did from December 1st to 20 of 2020. The 'romantic' couple start kissing at 27º Capricorn and consummate their 'love' at 0º Aquarius in the same way Jupiter and Saturn did back in 2020.

They mark a quite rare event. Venus and Mars will never again meet together with Pluto in Capricorn for several centuries. Whatever development starts then (i.e. Russian invasion), its cycle will probably take at least 250 years.

Yet, at the same time Venus and Mars also start a new cycle in Aquarius. This may mean that two parallel cycles are running at the same time, one rock solid, the other airy.

Just a few days before, while Venus and Mars were within orb of Pluto, February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and the War started. By the time Venus and Mars were at 0º Aquarius, the headlines talked about more mass deaths, saying that strikes intensify, and Russia even hitting the Holocaust Memorial. As we will see in future developments, this is an extremely symbolic theme associated with zero degree of Aquarius. Massive displacements started of people fleeing the bombs in spite of the UN launching a humanitarian appeal.

The common thread of the news seems to be carrying the hints of Pluto themes related to death and buried secrets bursting out, announcing his future devastating work. Israeli Forces killing Palestinians, uncovering suspicious Indigenous graves. Nuclear talks with Iran, poisoning of young girls in this same country, a train tragedy in Greece, and other accidental poisonings and killings, some by storms others by human hand. There was one bright news though. Ironically, Panama recognizes the legal rights of Nature.4

The way Venus and Mars move from Capricorn to Aquarius represents the not so smooth archetypal transition from the solid structures of materialism to the lighter and lofty networks of thought. In order for us to ‘elevate’, we have to let go of the brick and mortar Capricornian structures. It means that during the last 15-year transit of Pluto the world pyramidal pillars of Capricorn social conventions and conditionings have fallen under a long process of decomposition.

WHAT IS COMING?

Let us put our braces because that is not all. 2024 starts with a big bang! On January 20, the Sun escorts the Lord of Death and of the Underworld into Aquarius after their exact conjunction at 29º 59’ of Capricorn which indicates that 2024 is still a transitional year. Notice a good almost perfect trine from the Moon in Gemini, ensuring that there will be news!

On February 5, 2024, Mercury joins Pluto at 0º 29’ Aquarius. Notice their perfect conjunction with the Lot of Fortune in a 0º Aries chart. Mercury with Pluto is capable of venting very dark news. They could relate to the profound transformation of society due to the innovations of high tech science.

On February 13, 2024, Mars joins Pluto at 0º 46’. Notice the great imbalance of energy on the chart. With all planets in the two closing and the two opening Signs of the Zodiac, great endings and beginnings are in store for the world. Lilith in Virgo as a singleton could play a dramatic role in issues of health. Through a profound disgust, she makes us realize how flawed Humanity is. Many could try to work hard to become 'good' to demonstrate the potential, or counteract the profound spiritual disconnection of so many others. Chiron in perfect conjunction with the North Node emphasizes the enormous existential vulnerability. This chart may correlate to mass death.

And just 4 days later, February 17, Venus makes also her baptism of Fire with the Darth Vader of the Zodiac at 0º 51’. Notice the almost perfect square from Mercury to Uranus. A financial transmutation is probably in store here.

Something is certain, by then, Humanity will get what 0º Aquarius means, for sure!

If someone hope for peace, flowers and the broken cross symbol of the Aquarian Age, may be ready for a big disappointment. The 20-year transit of Pluto in Aquarius may see, on the contrary, the transformation of society not without first horrific devastations and massive elimination of life in its many forms.

By hammering the 0º of Aquarius, all these conjunctions are preparing Humanity to build a different kind of social structures at a horizontal level. These new structures in the making, even though following inflexible (fixed quality) laws, are invisible, based on electrical waves, intermittent, softer and flowy in nature.

As indicated by the trend, many will suffer in the transition, especially those that are strongly attached to their material possessions. Some could die or be deprived unless they are able to sustain the incredible pressure of the times, that will be imposed by the transit of Pluto in Aquarius.

What is calling our attention lately and awaken our curiosity is the prevalence of conjunctions at 0º Aquarius. Some astrologers say that the first degree of a Sign has a very strong manifestation of the Sign’s energy. However, according to Lynn Koiner, at a personal level, a “beginning planet shows where the individual is young in their experience of the energy of that Planet and, therefore, it is not always used well, especially when starting or in a new situation.”5 My experience reading for people with these placements confirms the manifestation of awkwardness, and incipient skills of beginning planets.

A significant example is the birth chart of Sophia AI, the intelligent female robot. She was activated on February 14, 2016 @ 11:04 am in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Her birth chart has Mercury (mind, but also the electric circuitry) at 0º♒️29'. Even though, she is a great technological development, she is the first robot to have been recognized and registered as a citizen of a country, Saudi Arabia, on October 25, 2017. According to extensive research by ISAR President Astrologer Aleksandar Imsiragic, her birth is an iconic symbol as well as a precursory milestone to the Age of Aquarius. He argues that the 0º ♒️ is one of the degrees that plays a pivotal role in the Age of Aquarius.6

PLUTO IN AQUARIUS

Pluto ingress in Aquarius, starts the process of reforming and regenerating the collective consciousness.

As Pluto has been straddling between Aquarius and Capricorn for three years, people have been struggling to get free from the oligarchic establishment that has seized extreme levels of power, control and wealth standing on top of the masses. Taken to the extreme, the system implodes on itself, lacking balance. The crushed masses becoming ever so weaker. No longer can they survive as it is. Around the world, the more the oppression the more the masses rise against it. The seeds of rebellion and the hunger for freedom are planted and germinating. The zero degree of Aquarius stores that urge for liberation, and budding freedom.

ZERO AQUARIUS

It is valuable to consider that the first seven degrees of Aquarius are also under the influence of Mercury, according to the Egyptian Terms, and under Saturn, according to Ptolemy’s Terms. Taking the traditional rulership of Aquarius, Saturn will double down its strength here with social obstacles, resistance, barriers to wealth, and much poverty. With the Saturn Mercury combination influence, 0º Aquarius brings out problems in trade related to the industries of communication, basic education, and transportation, to name a few.

Considering the rulership of Uranus over Aquarius, and combining the terms ruled by Saturn or Mercury, the result could bring out the rebellion of youth, calling things by their names, rejecting euphemisms, advocating change in the industries of communication, education, and exchange. Building bridges will be difficult, instead they might be destroyed, be it physical or figurative ones. There could also be barriers to social media, and even a stricter regulation or surveillance of Internet.

All these planetary hits to 0º Aquarius may empower and at the same time disempower the masses. During the short three months Pluto dipped the paws in Aquarius in 2023, people witnessed the destabilizing effects of highly developed technology on society. For example, ChatGPT and other AI technologies, like robots threatened the livelihood of workers in many industries. On May 2, 2023 the Writers Guild of America rose and came out to the streets protesting and demanding to have their work recognized and adequately valued.7 Yet, because Pluto came back to Capricorn on June 12, not much progress was achieved by this movement. Those who hold the power are more interested in their profit than in contributing to a sustainable social exchange.

On the one hand, technology development can empower certain sectors of society, yet on the other, it disempowers those who, in order to survive, attached to the certainty of the tangible plane. Even though its fixity, Aquarius is unreliable, intermittent and uncompromising. Uranus electrical impulses result in progress by leaps and bounds, for which, often, society is not ready yet. Some innovations are only accessible for the highly developed world. While Uranus is still in Taurus, it is difficult to rely on practical and material resources. The Earth is elusive, and so are its products. It is obvious that the transit of Uranus in Taurus is shaking Nature and its resources to the core.

All this makes for the incipient nature of the zero degree Aquarius. Like a newborn baby, it is alien to the world in which is born, it’s immature, doesn’t know how to adapt, doesn’t eat or walk on its own yet, it needs to be cared for, taught, guided and disciplined. And like babies, all things created under the 0º of Aquarius influence, may figuratively ‘spit, vomit and poop’ on people all the while making us smile a bit many times before they learn how to act properly.

Mars Sun Conjunction in Scorpio - November 18, 2023

SUN CONJUNCT MARS IN SCORPIO

Mass grave from the Middle Ages- Wikipedia

When the Sun joins Mars, they unite forces for the activities associated with the themes of the Sign they transit. This impacts their whole two year cycle. For example, on September 2, 2019, the conjunction occured in Virgo. What happened in the next two years is fresh in our memories. The activity (Mars) was focused (Sun) on the health, healthcare, solving a health problem, service work, and workplace, which are the main subjects related to the Sign of Virgo. By projection, this also is reflected on the opposite Sign of Pisces, which represented the chaos, first, dissolution of health and disorganization on the healthcare system, sacrifices, charity service, etc. 

On October 8, 2021, they joined in Libra, and the focus was on relationships, polarization of interests and looking for compromise and agreement. The projection over the opposite Sign of Aries, and other astrological events, gave room to the War in Ukraine due to lack of compromise and extreme polarization in the world of international affairs. Other polarizations in relationships have been exacerbated during that period, in society in general, as well as, especially noticeable, in the political arena in several countries around the world. 

On November 17-18, 2023, the conjunction will occur at 25º♏️36'. Scorpio is a Sign associated with sharp focus and even obsessive concentration on the activities in which people engage. This Sign is also associated with taboo matters like sex and death, medical surgery, elimination of waste, decomposing of matter, and underground secrets and findings. However, figuratively at a spiritual level, this also could mean deep healing and transmutation (death and rebirth), dealing with psychological matters, surrender, and all kinds of eliminations and extirpations. 

Looking back in history, their conjunction in Scorpio happens normally, either every 32, or every 15 years, alternating, two times every 32 years and one time every 15 years. Only at the end of the 19th Century (1800s) there were three consecutive periods of 15, 17, 15 years apart. 

Observing the historical events associated with those two-year cycles when their conjunction starts in Scorpio, I found out that every time there were news of genocide or mass graves uncovering. Genocides do not happen exclusively with the Mars Sun in Scorpio cycle, yet, this conjunction always starts a two year period when they occur. Their cycle seem also to be associated with mass graves, their making or their finding.

Terrorism feeds directly on the polarization of diverse populations that cannot seem to be able to live together in peace. Even though the phenomenon could be considered immemorial, the word 'genocide' is relatively very new.

"Genocide is defined as an act committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. The term ‘genocide’ was coined in 1944 by the Polish-Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin in his book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe. In creating the term ‘genocide’, Lemkin intended to more clearly define the crime of mass murder of groups of people and to raise awareness of it." 1

Moreover,

"Genocide became a crime in itself following the adoption of the ‘Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide’ by the United Nations General Assembly on 9 December 1948, as result of the events of the Holocaust." 1

The characteristics of a genocide are as follows:

"Killing members of a group. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group."1

According to this same source, some of the stages leading to a genocide include, but is not limited to classification, discrimination, polarization, persecution, extermination, and denial of having committed any crime.

Some activities associated with the cycle initiated by the Sun and Mars in Scorpio are based on antagonic polarization, controlling a population by superlative fear, and defining limits of what it can and cannot do, usually with the philosophy that might makes it right. The imposed physical violence is of horrific proportions. There are shows off of extreme power, for example, forcibly transferring children of one group to another one, maximum level of destruction of property, stealing and/or illegal appropriation of the property of the subdued group.

The Scorpio flavor of things always carries this utmost obsessive focus on holding power that often translates into acts of ruthless courage, accompanied with the sacrifice of the conqueror's life. Sometimes, the motive is an unconscious drive to heal some psychological issue that has been subdued, covered up, repressed or entirely suppressed, and has found a trigger point to burst out in the open, just as it happens with a mature purulent cyst. It is felt by the aggressor as a way to heal from that issue.

Here are some examples of the most recent previous Sun Mars conjunctions in Scorpio. The first one back was November 8, 1991 with the addition of Pluto just within 5º orb, at 15º♏️27'. The 15º of any Fixed Sign is a World Portal, the midpoint between equinoxes and a place of 'source energy' access, which can connect to the universal infinity and past lives.

This period was marked by the Wars of disintegration of Yugoslavia. The ethnic tensions had started the year before. On November 20, 1991 the first massacre of this war occurred in Vukovar. More than 400 people trapped in the city's hospital of different ethnicities, including patients, Croatian troops, and some foreigners, were killed. 2

Potočari, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Other mass killings followed during the next couple of years in the region, as well as the later Srebrenica Genocide in 1995, all supposedly due to ethnicity and religion reasons. Yet, it is well understood that all wars have an economic reason in the background (Scorpio Taurus axis relates to resources).

Next previous Sun Mars conjunction in Scorpio happened October 30, 1959. This was the year the Cuban Revolution started with violence. Not only that, but it was also the year the Rwandan Revolution started, 

"also known as the Hutu Revolution, Social Revolution, or Wind of Destruction, it was a period of ethnic violence in Rwanda from 1959 to 1961 between the Hutu and the Tutsi, two of the three ethnic groups in Rwanda. The revolution saw the country transition from a Tutsi monarchy under Belgian colonial authority to an independent Hutu-dominated republic. The revolution began in November 1959, with a series of riots and arson attacks on Tutsi" 3

The conflict escalated into a War that lasted until 1994, and around 200,000 people were killed.


Next one back was on November 14, 1944. Even though, this was not the beginning of the Holocaust, we know that the first liberated camp was in Poland, July 1944, and in the following year the Western powers freed the occupied Europe ending the WWII and the exterminations.

During the liberation process, the secret was unearthed and the entire world learned the horrors of this War. Other mass killings occurred by vengeance in Europe. This period marked the start of a psychological shock at the same time of a very long healing process that has not yet concluded. The kind of psychological traumas discovered there still haunt many generations, and is the kind of issues associated with Scorpio: death, revenge, deranged passions, unnameable cruelty, the fight for survival, blood shed, taboos, sexual crimes, incomprehensible abuse, are all born from the deepest shadows of the human soul.

The above period started in 1991, resonates with the one back in 1912. The First Balkan War started just a month earlier to the November 5, 1912 Sun Mars conjunction. I haven't dug deeply enough into the details, but I guess that there are a lot of the same issues these peoples dealt with in the Second Balkan War.

"During the 1912–13 First Balkan War, Serbia and Montenegro committed a number of war crimes against the Albanian population after expelling Ottoman Empire forces from present-day Albania, Kosovo, and North Macedonia, which were reported by the European, American and Serbian opposition press. Most of the crimes occurred between October 1912 and the summer of 1913. The massacres of Albanians in the Balkan Wars were perpetrated on several occasions by the Serbian and Montenegrin armies and paramilitaries during the conflicts that occurred in the region between 1912 and 1913." 4

In summary, the coincidence of themes is undeniable. Obviously, as a corollary of the mass killings and by projection onto the opposite Sign of Taurus, issues related to the goods and property of the dead, financial matters, like bank accounts, investments, inheritances, all Scorpionic matters, are at play as well. Of course, with some exceptions, the winners usually take advantage of these gains. Some of the heirs of the abusers may still today be enjoying those benefits. 

November 18, 2023

Now, let's take a look at the chart of the soon upcoming Sun Mars conjunction. There is a tight trine to Neptune and a sextile to Pluto in conjunction with the Moon, forming a tight Small Trine with the Moon at the midpoint. 

It could be argued that the sextiles and trines are positive and 'benefic' aspects. However, I do not share this interpretation. The sextile is a Geminian aspect, that contributes communication as well as ambivalence, flexibility and change. It adds Air to the Fire, if you see what it means. The trine has the energy of harmony and ease of exchange of the energies associated with the planets. This can, in fact, facilitate the tragedy. In this case, the trine has a Sagittarius flavor (counting from the slowest to the fastest planets), also mutable and with more Fire. It adds the component of religious and cultural issues to the inflammation. 

Notice Ceres in conjunction with Sun and Mars. Ceres was present exactly conjoining Saturn and Pluto in January 2020. I'm still not sure about her contribution. I'm sure of one thing, she has been showing the face of Inanna in the Underworld, more than the face of the Goddess of Nurturance and Harvest. To recover her daughter, Persephone, Ceres had to descend into the darkness and horrors of the unconscious where she faced the fear of death. Let's also be reminded that "Ceres as the Goddess of death functions as the matrix which receives the dead for rebirth" She has also power of the "primordial mysteries of food transformation". And "Ceres' secret teaching is that death is the gateway to rebirth". 5

If it were the chart of an individual, it could be said that this person could use faith or a spiritual practice to deal with the struggle, or be dedicated to charity service. However, usually in the collective, this chart will show the darker manifestation, if not the darkest. 

Pluto conjunct the Moon at the midpoint acts as a powerful trigger and may either empower people or relate to the profound painful emotions of the public. The world will probably weep watching masses of people die (Moon Pluto) in the name of religion (Neptune in Pisces). Many could decide to immolate themselves for their faith, or groups of people could be immolated because of their faith. Very sadly, whatever the case, there could be uncountable victims. 

As it happens every time, the entire Humanity will feel the profound pain. We would have to face the darkest corners of our unconscious fears and taboos. May we rise in faith, in infinite love and compassion, and figuratively transmute the blood in milk like Mother Nature does to feed us, her children. May we stay neutral, observing the two faces of our own psyche playing out in the outside world.

The World that is Coming - Pluto trine Uranus

The New Human

If Pluto in Aquarius were the only big feature of the years to come, the necessary work would only be half done. Yet, no, Pluto would be supported in very original ways by his ruler, the ruler of Aquarius, Uranus! They will work in concert like a happily married couple, with positive cooperation, mutual collaboration, smooth complementarity and understanding. 

Nice! Because together, they are bringing fresh air to the world. Don't misunderstand me though. The transmutations will not be without much fracture (Uranus) and demolition (Pluto) as usual. The fact that they will work in harmony (trine) doesn' t take away any of their usual symbolic performance. 

Since they are such slowly moving planets, similarly to their first quarter Square that perfected seven times between 2012 and 2015, the Trine will perfect five times as follows. 

July 18, 2026

June 15, 2027 @ 4:12:13 in exact Small Trine with Neptune 

January 13, 2028

May 9, 2028 

The insistence marks the intensity like a grinding rock on a flour mill. Similarly to the mill, these planets will destroy the old to create something new in a productive way. 

The Trine happens in Air Signs, which indicates powerful and radical transformations of the collective consciousness. This entails changes of the mind, ideas, intellect, society, relationships, communication, science and technology. Obviously, every aspect in society will progressively experience a renewal. Haven't you been thinking that if people would change their minds, the world would change? Yes, you got it, and this is it! Isn't it a wonderful perspective for the world to come?

Moreover, the cherry on top of this amazing 'cake' is the perfect Small Trine they form with Neptune at the apex. Richard Tarnas explains that last time these three Titans joined forces harmoniously in a longstanding conjunction was between the 590s and the 550s BCE! The closest conjunction happened within 2º orb between 577 and 576 BCE. 

"These decades constituted the very heart of the great Axial Age that brought forth the birth of many of the worlds principal religious and spiritual traditions. This was the Age of Buddha [...]; of Mahavira [...]; of Lao-Tzu [...]; followed a decade later by the birth of Confucius, Lao-Tzu's younger contemporary. This same epoch coincided  with the sudden wave of major prophets in ancient Israel - Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Second Isaiah. In Greece, the period of the triple conjunction exactly coincided with the birth of Greek philosophy itself, as the first Greek philosophers, Thales and Anaximander, flourished during these decades of the 580s through the 560s, and Pythagoras, towering figure in the history of both Western philosophy and science, was born."1 

A great awakening catapulted Humanity to a higher level of mental development, with great works in Literature, Creative and Performing Arts, and Politics. 

"On yet another front, these same decades brought the statesman-poet Solon's revolutionary legal and economic reforms in Athens that paved the way for the development of democracy, so characteristic of the Uranus-Pluto cycle's correlation with periods of radical change, liberal political reform, and an intensified impulse for social and cultural progress."2  

This human evolutionary jump coincided exactly with the only exact triple conjunction of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in the whole history of Humanity!  According to Tarnas research, 

"The great figures and events, ideas, movements, awakenings, and transformations of the collective consciousness that were brought forth during this prodigious epoch have pervaded the subsequent evolution of humankind." 3 

 The exact Small Trine between Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto in 2027 is a rare and unique event, that will most probably bring back similar mental awakening impulses, especially considering that they take place in Air and Fire Signs. Let's remember that Humanity is now fully into the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions cycle in Air Signs, as well, for 200 years. The Chronocrators will be setting the pace in 20-year installments. Jupiter sets the growth, and Saturn organizes it, and gives it form. 

HUMANITY and THE COSMOS

As it was during the Renaissance Period, the previous 200 years of the Chronocrators meetings in Air Signs, this New Era starting now is defined by the absolute transformation of the Collective Consciousness. The collective mind will raise its capacity to better understand reality and make sense of it. The intellectual and social paradigms will raise their level, through the discovery of a broader cosmic reality that will expand the mind in a scope never reached before. 

The ideological progress will be led by the ongoing discoveries in the Cosmos. As it happened during the Renaissance with the realization that the Earth moves (Galileo Galilei), and that the Sun is the center of the Solar System (Copernicus) with all the planets and Earth orbiting around it, new discoveries will certainly change our spiritual conceptions. As Richard Tarnas explains about the Copernican revolution, the "epiphany was at once intellectual and spiritual, psychological and cosmological, and all their research and thinking served the new vision [...]"4

Space observatories working in coordination around the world and last generation telescopes, like Hubble, Kepler and James Webb allow us now to dig deeper into space. The space exploration has accelerated in the last few years changing our perspective of the Earth place in the Uni?verse or Multi?verse. New understanding of the Cosmos, and our place in it will lead to a different perception of reality, to the review of religious beliefs (Neptune), philosophies, and ideologies (Uranus). Pluto stimulates our  investigation of the mind and psyche, the curiosity for mysteries and metaphysical studies. 

SOCIETY & COMMUNICATION

Pluto in Aquarius brings powerful transformations to society. However, with the smooth support of Uranus, Aquarius ruler, instead of a traumatic revolution, society experiences a progressive and innovative evolution based on ideological changes. Aquarius and its ruler Uranus are extremely impersonal, they operate at the abstract intellectual level. Then, the collective social reforms could take an experimental turn, using new scientific approach and innovations in networks. The ideology will most probably be led by an intellectual elite through mass communication, through media outlets of all kind, existent and new ones. People could be empowered or disempowered by the spread of knowledge and ideas, depending on the individuals' critical thinking skills. 

Since the missing leg of the Grand Trine is Libra, relationships and agreements may not play a great role except during the times the faster moving planets transit this Sign of Libra. For example, from August through October 2026, Mercury, Venus and the Sun will transit Libra. During the period between 2026 and 2028, the North Node of the Moon will be transiting Aquarius adding a boost to the Plutonic energy, increasing its power. 

Even though, Uranus and Pluto will cooperate with each other, it doesn't mean that they will lose their 'malefic' influence. Pluto shadow in Aquarius shows up in the excess of intellectual freedom. They could manifest as crazy scientific inventions. The unbridled freedom of expression without respect for the rights of others has already shown its dark face in violent responses. During the French Revolution those who rose to power perverted the ideals trying to exert extreme control over the population, and the movement ended up in the Reign of Terror.  

This way, Pluto may also represent repression in the flow of necessary information, by which the media only allows for the spread of ideas from official political sources. In this way, some sectors of society are empowered, whereas others are disempowered. The powers that be determine how we are allowed or not to interact socially, or what information we can access. Already evident in the use of social media, who regulate what you can and cannot say, this may take a greater proportion with Pluto in Aquarius. 

Healthcare Administration

The current Uranus Pluto cycle started in 1965-1966 in Virgo, associated with health, work organization, and problem solving. Since then, the healthcare administration accelerated its organization and automatization of health record keeping. Patients health information privacy is just an illusion given the numerous insurance staff members, clinical, and administrative staff that can access it without your expressed permission. By now, the Healthcare record keeping systems have reached monster proportions. And as long as people are not using their critical thinking skills, they will continue to fall victims of the system.

Now, after and due to the pandemic, the WHO has a plan to integrate all the associated countries' healthcare systems, project that aims at centralizing the healthcare administration. Of course, they say, this is to ensure 'your safety'. Typical of Pluto's influence, is the instillation of profound fear, the fear that runs your spine up and down and makes you crunch. Of course, with Pluto in Capricorn, people has had plenty of fear promoted from governmental institutions through official media. No wonder people are desperate for protection, hungry for surveillance, and strong-fist authorities or military intervention. They are ready to sacrifice all privacy and freedoms for the sake of safety. 

Sexuality

The unrestrained spread of negative and controversial sexual subjects in the name of freedom of expression, brings into question moral issues. Children are already exposed to inappropriate sexual information for which are not yet mature. Pluto in Aquarius may mean that sexuality could be increasingly a subject of study and manipulation by the health science. Pornography may spread to new levels, and become rampant online to the point of being unavoidable by those who do not like it or use it. Pedophelia and pornography networks will continue to shape, distort and pervert the concept of human sexuality. In the practical way, the normalization of this trend could contribute to lower reproduction rates and the decrease of the human population.  

Communication

Usually Pluto, and the slow moving planets for that matter, awakes the shadow side of the symbolism in the collective. With Pluto in Aquarius, trine Uranus in Gemini, the surveillance will probably continue through the Air Signs quality. Free and private communications may completely become a thing of the past. In the name of safety, surveillance could be generalized, and information may deliberately be programmed to brainwash the masses. The methods can be attractively innovative, and people may desperately run to buy new devices to keep up with the latest technology that supposedly gets them safe.  

FREEDOM & POLITICAL REVOLUTION

This Neptune Uranus Pluto configuration correlates to the freedom and the power of the enlightened mind. Similar to the French Enlightenment movement at the end of the 1700s, there are already highly intelligent people who talk and broadcast lofty ideas. The human mind has developed a higher capacity for putting diverse ideas together and come up with innovative ones. Thanks to the AI, this capacity will further increase exponentially. Parallel to the progress achieved after the Gutenberg print that allowed a wider access to information, nowadays, the Internet has gathered all the thoughts of world in one pool, from which AI allows us to access any information we might need. Well, that, as long as the Internet regulators allow it. 

Nonetheless, this broader learning opportunity empowers researchers, scientists, technologists, educators, etc. and widens our cosmic consciousness. Unfortunately, the freedom of thought has never matched the freedom of speech. However, as I always say, the more you fight against something, the stronger you make it. 

These three planets in harmony help us understand that the more the freedoms have been repressed (Pluto in Capricorn), the stronger the need for liberation. This urge for liberation extends to politics and geo-political distribution of power. The stronger and more repressive the totalitarian regimes, the more rebellions will provoke. What you fight, you strengthen!

Liberation may not be achieved without much death and destruction. We will probably see the maximum level of society structural demolition when Pluto makes its final visit to Capricorn from September 2d to October 12, 2024. Be still. Looking at the heliocentric zodiac, during the Israel Palestine crisis, the Earth was transiting (Oct 7, 2023) conjunct Chiron in Aries! From the heliocentric perspective, during the Summer, the Earth was transiting Pluto in Capricorn, which coincided with numerous natural catastrophes. 

In the late 1700s and early 1800s, American colonies strove for liberation, and most of them declared their independence from their oppressive colonizing monarchies in Europe. Most probably, this time around, powerful movements of liberation will rise up around the world. Empires may fall, nations may reconfigure their alliances, and borders may radically shift if not disappear all together. There has already been talks about a global government; maybe some new form of government is experimented. Aquarius loves experimenting.

 On the dark side of excessive information availability and exchange, data falls in inexpert or malevolent hands and minds, who can use them to harm others. Anyone can become a hacker, anything could be hacked, copyrights may be a thing of the past, and many other unforeseen corollaries can occur. 

Let's hope for political and social transformations favoring the respect of freedom and basic rights of people and animals, like the right to live, occupy a space in peace, have housing, food, healthcare, education, work and enjoyment. 

EDUCATION

 Let's also hope that a new educational system is developed, that focuses on practical empiric learning and the preparation for life in all its aspects. For example, in order to solve social problems, people need to be educated on how to parent their children, how to structure and manage a household. In order to avoid health problems, people need to learn early in life the basics of hygiene and healthy living that includes learning how to design a healthy diet, and to make beneficial choices. So far, food availability, and cultural customs define what one eats; in the future, a better education may help us understand that some of our traditions are unhealthy. 

There are many other aspects to the human life that will evolve with the collective consciousness shift. Many of us will not be here to see the development and transformations, just hope that our descendants can build this promising new world system and enjoy being alive a little better that us. Let hope grow!
